Well I think its just the guy came off as arrogant to me. I just think they could advertised it better. I have no problem with the program, and the video demos the program quite well. Its just him I have a problem with.

He seemed a bit douchbaggy, but he is also a keyboard player. They usually like to step on bassists anyway.

I don't find it offensive, I think he is just trying to be funny.

"Unless you're like me... one of the top two bass players on earth..."

Hilarious.

I thought it was funny and the tool (no not the guy, the software tool) is amazing.

It's just a pitch. Nothing offensive about it as far as I'm concerned. Seems like a well-designed product, too.

I just took the video as being tongue-in-cheek. Made me chuckle a few times.

I mean, come on. No one ever expects the arrogant bassplayer.

Umm, how COULD you find that offensive?
It's obviously tounge-in-cheek. The product is pretty cool too.

I'm just glad he left me, one of the top two bass players on earth, out of it

I really enjoyed the video.

Hey! That's Mocean Worker! I like his stuff. I thought the video was awesome. Check out his stuff, it's great.

I hate how Ford name-drops him in a recent ad, but the exposure can't hurt him.
